My brother asked what I had been doing in the garden, and I had to tell him weeding only right now. It's still pretty wet out there and we're scheduled to get more rain tonight and sun tomorrow. I may plant some leek slips and some more asparagus a little later. I know I will plant some tomatoes and peppers in containers. The tomatoes and peppers come with bad microbes and I don't want those in my garden. They can stay in a container. ;)
Still haven't planted peanuts yet, and won't for a while. Dryness helps on some stuff.

We’ve been getting always needed rain in the Hill Country. My tomatoes hate it.
I can’t even weed right now.
Last week here in deep SE Texas we got between 14” and 16” of rain, close as I could tell, and the ground was already saturated.
We have a little patch of Volunteer Asparagus. We missed the harvest when Hubby was in the hospital. He’s decided to expand the patch and got some from Walmart and planted them.
Asparagus is one veggie that our grand daughter will eat. We don’t know where the original patch came from as we have never planted any - wild maybe?
I also have a volunteer patch of vetch growing, but it is next to a bed that had vetch cover crop that didn’t germinate about a year ago.
I originally grew all my tomatoes in containers, but Hubby kept stealing all my soil mix, and then I would have to buy more, but was usually short of funds, having already spent my budget for it, so I gave that up and now I just plant them in rotation of about 4 years and hope for the best.
Since grand daughter has a bunch of 5 gallon buckets of dry wall compound that is empty now, I will have a bunch to clean up and use, and I just may go out and dig up some of his garden dirt to put in them. Turn about is fair play. LOL
